Jan Grothe, Oliver A. Cornely, Jon Salmanton‐García
Abstract
We approached European tertiary care institutions to provide details regarding their management of the current human monkeypox outbreak. 73 out of 105 sites stated to have capacities to manage the outbreak adequately amid the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. There are effective protective measures to prevent nosocomial infections in place at nearly all institutions. Diagnostic and treatment capacities on the other hand have potential to be improved.
